The iPad vs the laptop, users must ask their self if this is a fair challenge. People believe the iPhone and iPad should behave like a normal computer, which will never happen, however the iPad still carries a heavy punch. In this article, I will attempt to show you how the iPad still gives the laptop a run for its money.

Weight and Size:

The iPad weights 1.6 lbs and is just a half-inch thick, making it thinner than most laptops. This makes the iPad easy to store when traveling or while on the go during a crazy workday. The iPad’s size also makes it airport friendly because it is easier to stash and carry than most laptops. I know that we all have had are struggles getting a laptop through airport security.

Battery life:

The iPad’s battery is an awesome 3.75V, 24.8 watt-hour, which provides 10 hours of quality use and enables charging the iPad faster than charging via USB from a laptop. A fully charged iPad battery also means you do not have to carry that clumsy laptop adaptor around for the laptops daily charging while at work.

Functionality and Practicality:

Functionality and practicality is a big factor when comparing the iPad vs the laptop.

Although the iPad takes the form of a tablet rather than that of the laptop, there is still some fair competition out there for functionality between the two. The laptop which opens up to an actual keyboard making it perfect for those users who use keyboards often, while the iPad is a tablet and has an on-screen keyboard, users still say they were surprised to find that they typed at about the same speed on the iPad vs. the laptop.

Another benefit of the iPad is it’s screen can be seen from almost any angle, while the laptop as you know cannot, however If there is a light source in the room, the shiny iPad screen will pick up that glare.

Security:

The one glaring issue of the iPad is its security; I know most of you people are aware of a security breach that exposed iPad owners including dozens of CEOs, military officials, and top politicians this past year. Apple has tried to fix this issue, however Jack Gold of J.Gold Associates questioned whether encrypted data stored on the iPad would be safe from hackers.

In my own opinion, I find the iPad more comfortable and ideal for watching videos, surfing the Web and reading electronic books vs. the laptop. I can hear you people screaming, “The iPad doesn’t even have a built-in webcam,” relax, Apple has promised future versions of the iPad will have a built-in webcam, maybe the iPad 2?

So which one should you choose? Laptops have their benefits, but so do iPads, when the question arises iPad vs. laptop, it is up to the users preference and what he or she is willing to sacrifice in comfort-ability and functionality.

Technology

New manufacturing methods that introduce synthetic compounds, like methamphetamine, is another reason more people are becoming addicted to drugs. Drug addiction does not discriminate against age, race or economic status. Anyone can become dependent on drugs at some point in their lives. Every year the United States losses an estimated 600 billion dollars due to drug addictions. This figure includes health, productivity, and crime-related costs associated with drugs.

Social Costs

While that is a staggering figure, it does not even begin to fully describe the breadth of destructive public health and safety implications that drug abuse and addiction has. Issues such as family disintegration, loss of employment, failure in school, domestic violence, and child abuse are all examples.

Addiction

When addicted, individuals can develop an insatiable appetite, regardless of the harm they reap upon themselves. The need for their particular drug of choice becomes so over whelming that it takes over all thoughts and a person is unable to function. This is an addiction and required intervention and treatment in order to bring back any sort of normalcy.

Risk Factors

A person can develop a drug addiction due to many varying factors. Like other psychological disorders, an individual’s likelihood for developing a drug addiction can depend on many different environmental factors. For example, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and attention-deficit disorder can all be precursors for a drug addiction. The effects of family, peers, and genetics also play a large part into whether or not a person will develop a drug dependency during their lifetime.

Independent Studies

Research shows addiction may be greatly influenced by specific, inherited traits, and studies have determined men are twice as likely as women to develop an addiction to drugs. While surely a problem that seems to be at the forefront of our collective conscience, it has become increasingly unclear whether laws against drug use do anything substantial to stem usage or dependency. There are women’s program to help.

Physical Descriptions

Black marlins are a much more solid fish than its cousin the blue marlin. They feature a much shorter bill and rounder dorsal fin than other marlin. They are also unique in the fact that their bill will not fold over if pressed on. This is yet another way people can distinguish between the different types of Blue Marlin fishing.

What They Eat

What does the black marlin like to eat? Many things in the ocean will get feasted upon by this predatory species. It likes tuna, cuttlefish and pretty much any other fish it can get its mouth around. The menu for the black marlin is very big because of all the fish in the ocean that are smaller than it.

Black Marlin Fishing

If you see that it is a full moon outside, you may want to consider grabbing your fishing pole. Many black marlins, and fish in general for that matter, are caught in the week after a full moon occurs. This is due to the fact that fish tend to migrate towards the water surface during this time because it is easier to find their food there.

Locations

Black marlin are also commonly found in the Pacific Ocean. Specifically, near the coasts of Australia and throughout the tropical waters of the indo-pacific. The can also be caught of the coasts of southern California and Chile. Black marlin prefer warmer waters and like to swim just beneath the surface, taunting fishermen. They can also, usually, be found swimming near underwater structures like coral reefs.

Targeting Black Marlin

For the average fishermen it would be very hard to locate and catch one of these monstrous fish on your own. If you are serious about getting a black marlin, your best bet may be to hire an experienced fishing charter. They will be able to take you to where the fish are and give you the latest technology to improve your chances of landing one. Some black marlin can actually weigh up to 1,4000 pounds and grow to be fifteen feet in length. So, you may need some extra help reeling one of these fish on board. Surely, there is nothing more exciting in the world of fishing than catching a black marlin.

The media is rife with speculation about Steve Jobs health after it has been announced that he will be taking another medical leave. What is the future of the company? What effect will Steve Jobs absence from Apple have on its stock performance? What ails Jobs and how serious is it?

Steve Jobs has requested that his privacy be respected during his period of recuperation. Let’s hope his wishes are respected and there’s no prying into his medical records or personal family affairs by sleazy bloggers or “journalists” looking to get some kind of “scoop.”

It is not out of line, however, to speculate on Apple’s future, as many pundits and analysts are already doing. Unfortunately, Much of the speculation about the whole thing involves needless handwringing if not downright hysteria. It’s time for a few cool heads to set the record straight.

Let’s examine some of the realities and misconceptions surrounding Steve Jobs and Apple’s future.

No one can truly speculate on Steve Jobs health except his doctors.

Although cancer is certainly no minor matter, it is not the death sentence it once was. Steve Jobs was diagnosed with a cancerous pancreatic tumor in 2004 and had a liver transplant in 2009. This was successful, but the drugs needed to keep the body from rejecting such a transplant can cause side effects and other medical problems.

Steve Jobs is still with Apple.

Although Steve Jobs is on medical leave, he will continue on as CEO and be involved in strategic decisions with Apple.

Steve Jobs is a genius.

During his career Steve Jobs has revolutionized not one industry but several: computers with the Apple II and later the Macintosh, operating systems with NeXT, animation with Pixar, music and entertainment with Apple’s iTunes, the cell phone industry with the iPhone and now the entire world of tablet PCs with the iPad. Steve Jobs has had an amazing ability to intuitively grasp what the public wants and to see opportunities that others have missed. In addition, the strength of his personality and reputation had given him and Apple considerable heft when it comes to negotiation.

Steve Jobs ego has gotten in the way at times.

Certainly, much of the speculation surrounding Apple after Steve Jobs is not surprising. Steve Jobs has presented himself as Apple’s public face. He has run the keynotes, given most of the big announcements, and made Apple a very personality-driven company. Although this has built the Apple mystique over the years, it had the downside of leading to speculation about Apple’s future after Jobs is no longer with the company. Certainly, Jobs’ ego is one of the things that led to his original ouster from Apple back in 1985.

Steve Jobs is not Apple.

Apple is a multibillion dollar, multinational corporation which, according to Wikipedia, has 46,600 full time employees and 2,800 temporary full time employees worldwide, and worldwide annual sales of .23 billion.

Apple is much bigger than one man. In fact, Apple continued to enjoy a wide user base and popularity during the time between Steve Jobs ouster and his eventual return. Although Jobs is a unique technology visionary, runs Apple in a very hands-on fashion, and is, in fact, the public face of the corporation, it would be a mistake to think that he is the only one keeping it going.

Steve’s recent health problems have not come suddenly, nor have they been a big surprise.

Steve Jobs has been suffering from health issues for a number of years now. Being the forward-thinking guy he is, Jobs has certainly not overlooked the fact that he will not be around forever. Steve Jobs knows what it takes to succeed in business and has surrounded himself with an excellent team of very talented people. He has been careful to groom Tim Cook as his right-hand man, making sure that there will be someone available to maintain operations of the company if he should ever have to leave.

Apple has an incredible management team consisting of Steve Jobs, Tim Cook, Peter Oppenheimer, Phil Schiller, Jonathan Ive, Ron Johnson, Sina Tamaddon, Bertrand Serlet, Scott Forstall and Bob Mansfield. Ive, who has been with Apple since 1992 has been the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design since 1997.

Steve Jobs has been gone from Apple before.

It is easy to forget that Steve Jobs has not always been with Apple. He was ousted from the company in 1985, just one year after the introduction of the Macintosh, and did not return until 1997, over 10 years later.

During that time, Apple was not stagnant, either. The company introduced many innovative products, such as the Newton, a groundbreaking handheld computer; the PowerBook, which established the modern ergonomic layout and form factor of the laptop computer; System 7, a major advance in operating systems; the PowerPC processor, a new computing architecture using Motorola and IBM hardware; and TrueType font technology, an open standard for fonts that greatly simplified font management.

Sure, Apple has had some missteps during that time, but it would be a mistake to think that everything Steve Jobs touches has turned to gold either; the Xserve has been discontinued, the Macintosh Cube flopped and the Apple TV has yet to really take off.

Apple has an incredible momentum going with the Mac, iTunes, the iPod, the iPhone and now the iPad.

Apple enjoys millions of loyal customers and users. Apple store openings often draw crowds of thousands, some of whom wait in line for as long as a day before the opening, and some of whom even fly in from other countries for the event. The cube-shaped store on Fifth Avenue in New York drew crowds half a mile long for its grand opening; some of the visitors even took the opportunity to propose marriage at the event. Mac users have been fiercely loyal to their machine because of the ease of use of the operating system and applications and the industrial design of the devices themselves.

Mac users are intensely loyal.

The Macintosh has enjoyed a “halo effect,” as users of the iPod, iPhone and other Mac products have been inspired to try Apple’s other offerings, including its desktop computers. This means that the Mac user base has been growing over the past several years. The loyalty of Mac users has inspired the phrase “Cult of Macintosh.” Users of Macs and Apple’s other products love their devices because of Apple’s innovative industrial design, software made to be easy to use from the ground up, advanced operating system, award-winning support, compatibility with PCs and third-party hardware, ability to work with Microsoft Office and other PC files, and non-susceptibility to PC viruses.

In short, Apple has a public image, brand loyalty, reputation for innovation and user base that would make most of the world’s biggest corporations green with envy. No matter what may happen in the future, one thing is certain: Apple’s future as a technology leader is secured.
